WV Wild Turkeys 2008 ~ Olympus SP-560

The only wild critters I've captured with the SP-560 this year are Wild Turkeys and a few squirrels (not counting birds and deer which have their own galleries).
The turkeys seem to be coming closer to our home than they have since 2004 when we added the sunroom...and we never had a tom in full display in the yard, until...
...after seven years of waiting, on this dark, raining, and gloomy morning of Mar 19th, 2008 I had the privilege of seeing and hearing these guys up close and personal!
...And they are still at it, the first six were taken Mar. 25th, all toms, the hens had already crossed the pond and climbed the hill.
The next six were taken Mar 26th, the hens were in the yard, the toms were on the hill putting on a show.
As of April 2nd, several hens and the two toms are still coming 'round for corn. Please click on a thumbnail for the exif.
